Are rocks and minerals pure substances?
No, sandstone is not a pure substance. Sandstone is a mixture of eroded rock particles (grains of sand) that have been put under pressure over millions of years until they have formed a solid (sandstone) rock layer.Sandstone is a sedimentary rock, mainly of sand-sized mineral particles or rock fragments. Sandstone is mainly composed of quartz or feldspar.
What is the process called that carries particles from one place to another?
Erosion
What rock is formed when rock particles are bonded together by pressure?
Metamorphic rocks
What is the main difference between erosion and mass wasting?
the difference is that erosion is a process in which weathered particles are pick up and move from one place to another and mass wasting is the downhill movement of loose rock or soil.
What is rock made of bits of sedimentary material that was compacted in layers?
A rock is amineral
What particles are in soil?
particles are of soil so there is no particle in the soil ANSWER: Rock and mineral particles are found in soil.
How does the size of rock particles in soil affect the amount of water it can hold?
the answer to this question is that Soil with smaller particles can hold more water when Soil with larger rock particles can hold less water.....
How does weathering affect soil?
Weathering would create a finer textured soil by breaking small rock particles into smaller rock particles.
What three types of weathered rock particles found in soil?
Clay, silt, and sand are the three types of weathered rock particles found in soil.
How the wind cause soil erosion?
wind can move and carry away the tiny particles of soil, which carries
Describe the direction in which soil and rock particles rise?
The rock particles rise perpendicular to the slope of the hill.
Why is the size of rock particles important to soil structure?
The size of rock particles are important to soil structure because the larger particles of sand allow rainwater to drain quickly through the soil, while the smaller particles of clay prevent rapid drainage.
By which materiel soil is formed?
soil is made up of weathered rock particles
What direction do soil and rock particles rise?
what is the anwser
What causes soil and rock particles to fall?
errosion
Which kind of soil has the smallest rock particles?
Gravel
What causes soil and rock particles to rise?
Water from rainfall and runoff seep into the ground, so it fills the spaces between particles of soil and rock. The water freezes and gets bigger, (expands) and it causes the lifting of rock and soil. ☺
